Nikolic charged over steward incident

Michael Sharkie

After a week of deliberation and investigation of a confrontation between jockey Danny Nikolic and chief steward Terry Bailey at Seymour races, Racing Victoria stewards have levelled two charges against Nikolic to be heard by the Racing Appeals and Disciplinary Board tomorrow.

The charges relate to improper or dishonourable action by any person in connection with racing, and conduct seen as prejudicial to the image, interests or welfare of racing.

Nikolic is due to appeal against the stand-down order made on September 4 before facing the new charges.
